Our containment and design capabilities are led by a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) with a doctorate in chemical risk assessment and toxicology, ensuring advanced hazard identification and exposure control. Supported by Professional Engineers (PE), we combine scientific expertise with precise engineering to deliver high-performance containment and ventilation solutions.

Safe, Controlled Environments for Complex Rehabilitation

Successful large-scale rehabilitation and paint removal projects—such as bridges, infrastructure, and Tainter gates—depend on safe access, worker protection, and strict environmental controls. Our containment and ventilation systems create secure negative-pressure enclosures that isolate hazardous emissions while maintaining clear access for crews, inspectors, and supervisors throughout the project.

Compliant, Precise, Proven

Our containment and ventilation design adheres to rigorous engineering principles, industrial hygiene best practices, and key standards from OSHA, ACGIH (Industrial Ventilation Manual), and NIOSH for effective contaminant control and worker protection. We integrate AMPP guidelines, such as SSPC-Guide 6, to ensure robust enclosures, negative pressure systems, and debris/emission containment during surface preparation and rehabilitation.

Paragon delivered our bridge rehabilitation ahead of schedule and with zero issues during inspection. Their team communicated clearly at every step and handled a highly complex scope without a single safety incident. We couldn’t ask for a more reliable partner.

Contracting Officer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

I was extremely pleased when Paragon completed our steel rehabilitation and protective coating project 6 months ahead of schedule. Their project execution plan and communication plan produced a robust schedule supported by tight controls over safety, quality, and management, allowing them to mitigate risks proactively and coordinate seamlessly with our team. Overall Rating: Exceptional for Quality, Management and Safety

Project Manager, Fortune 500 Heavy Civil Contractor

I have managed 3 projects that were very similar scope with three different contractors. Of the three, Paragon scores the first as a choice to work with again. Their work was stellar and reduced the QC inspection burden, as well as the COR paperwork burden normally experienced on a project. Overall Rating: Exceptional for Quality and Management

Contracting Officer Representative, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Paragon assigned a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) who performed exceptionally well. It is clear and apparent in the contractor’s performance that they selected and provided strong and capable leadership, established a culture of safety, effectively managed quality of materials and workmanship and aggressively managed the project to completion.
